Canadian Pacific Railway No. 1246 was one of three 1200-series Canadian Pacific Railway locomotives in the Steamtown, USA collection. Like CP 1293 and CP 1278, this locomotive was one the operational engines at Steamtown. When Steamtown left its Bellows Falls, Vermont location in the fall of 1983, the engine led the "farewell to Vermont" excursions. There were two such {{convert|100|mi|adj=on}} excursions "through a landscape of covered bridges, rushing streams and scenic countryside".[1] The train had the capacity of 800–1000 passengers. Built in 1946, CPR 1246 is a 4-6-2 type, class G5c locomotive.[1] In June 1967, Canadian Pacific 1246 was sold to the Green Mountain Railroad and relettered to GMRy 1246. It remained under Green Mountain ownership until was sold back to Steamtown six years later in July 1973 and relettered back in its Canadian Pacific lettering [2].

After operating in Steamtown in Scranton between 1984–1986, it was determined that 1246 was inadequate for service as it was "too light for the heavy grades and sharp curves of the Steamtown line".[3] The National Park Service sold it in 1988, and it was on static display from 1996–2008 at the Valley Railroad in Essex, Connecticut.{{cn|date=March 2018}} In 2008, it was moved to the Naugatuck Railroad which is operated by the Railroad Museum of New England, Thomaston, Connecticut.[3]
